Former SC State football great and Philadelphia Eagle standout Javon Hargrave (right) and former Bulldog golfer and Philadelphia area attorney Raymond Grier met up after an Eagle's practice Wednesday (Sept. 07, 2022).

The two will be among nine (9) former SC State sports standouts inducted into the SCSU Athletic Hall of Fame Oct. 21 in a special Hall of Fame Enshrinement on the campus.

Hargrave, a former All-American and two-time MEAC Defensive Player of the Year, is in his sixth year in the National Football League, his second with the Eagles. He spent his first four years with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Grier, one of the Bulldogs' top golfers during his undergraduate tenure (1972-1976) earned a host of golf honors at SC State and is a member of the MEAC's 50th Anniversary All-Time Golf Team. He is a practicing attorney in the Philadelphia area.

**Allen Football Game Called Off At Halftime Due To Lightning**

BLYTHEWOOD, S.C. - The Allen University Football team's home opener against rival Johnson C. Smith Univ. was called off at halftime due to a severe lightning storm in the area.

The Yellow Jackets were leading 27-20 at halftime after scoring two touchdowns late in the second quarter to take the lead. However, since the game did not reach the fourth quarter it will be considered a no-contest and the stats will not count.

The start of the game was delayed 90 minutes until kickoff around 7:30 PM and was later delayed near the end of the first quarter as well due to lightning.

Allen remains 0-1 on the year and will next go on the road to battle conference foe Fort Valley St. next Saturday at 2 PM.
